Who is Trevor Bauer’s agent?

Major League Baseball (MLB) pitcher Trevor Bauer has two agents.

One is Rachel Luba of Luba Sports.

The other is Jon Fetterolf, a partner at litigation firm Zuckerman Spaeder

Luba, 28, is a former member of the UCLA Gymnastics team and law student.

After passing the bar exam, Luba worked as a salary arbitration attorney at MLBPA.

She is also a sports agent who owns her own agency, Luba Sports, that launched in 2019 and represents Bauer.

Her company represents multiple baseball stars including, Yasiel Puig, Eric Jagers, and David Hess.

She is currently the youngest female baseball agent and told the Los Angeles Times she wants to “see a better landscape” and “better representation” of players.

What has Rachel Luba said about the allegations?

Pasadena police and Major League Baseball (MLB) are both investigating allegations made against Bauer by a Southern California woman, who claims the pitcher choked and punched her during two sexual encounters earlier this year.

Bauer has not been arrested or charged.

His accuser’s allegations are uncorroborated and unsubstantiated, says his spokesperson.

The woman obtained a temporary ex parte protection order against Bauer last month under the Domestic Violence Prevention Act.

A hearing related to the order is scheduled for July 23. Bauer’s representatives have confirmed they plan to refute and defend him against the allegations at this hearing.

The protection order includes multiple images of injuries from the woman who filed the request, alleged to have come from their encounters, according to The Athletic.

The order was issued as a result of an alleged assault by him that left her with severe physical and emotional pain, Marc Garelick, the woman’s attorney, alleged last week.

In relation to the allegations – which Bauer denies – both of the sportsman’s agents, John Fetterolf and Rachel Luba, have denied them on his behalf.

STATEMENT

On June 29, Fetterolf and Luba said in a statement: “Mr Bauer had a brief and wholly consensual sexual relationship initiated by [the woman] beginning in April 2021.”

It alleges that “we have messages that show [the woman] repeatedly asking for ‘rough’ sexual encounters involving requests to be ‘choked out’ and slapped in the face.

“In both of their encounters, [the woman] drove from San Diego to Mr. Bauer’s residence in Pasadena, Calif. where she went on to dictate what she wanted from him sexually and he did what was asked.

“Following each of her only two meetings with Mr Bauer, [the woman] spent the night and left without incident, continuing to message Mr Bauer with friendly and flirtatious banter.

“In the days following their second and final encounter, [the woman] shared photos of herself and indicated that she had sought medical care for a concussion.

“Mr Bauer responded with concern and confusion, and [the woman] was neither angry nor accusatory.

“Mr Bauer and [the woman] have not corresponded in over a month and have not seen each other in over six weeks.”

The statement also alleges that “her basis for filing a protection order is nonexistent, fraudulent, and deliberately omits key facts, information, and her own relevant communications”.

It claims too that, “any allegations that the pair’s encounters were not 100 per cent consensual are baseless, defamatory, and will be refuted to the fullest extent of the law.”

Luba further tweeted on July 2: “As an agent and an attorney, I think it is important to reiterate that I will always defend my clients when I believe the accusations made are false – and I will continue to do that.

“I am privy to much more information than what has been reported publicly at this time, and am confident that the truth will come to light.”

“Our goal is to keep Mr Bauer from contacting our client in any way possible,” the woman’s attorney, Marc Garelick, said.

Bauer is currently on paid administration leave from the Dodgers.

Were Rachel Luba and Trevor Bauer dating?

Fans have speculated that the Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher is dating sports agent Rachel Luba.

But Luba is Bauer’s co-agent, and definitely not his girlfriend, his representative has confirmed.

They told the Sun Online: “Ms Luba is Mr. Bauer’s agent and longtime friend, not his girlfriend.”

Back in 2019, during an interview with Sports Illustrated, Bauer revealed he would be a “bad husband,” because of his three rules of dating.

“I have three rules. One: no feelings. As soon as I sense you’re developing feelings, I’m going to cut it off, because I’m not interested in a relationship and I’m emotionally unavailable,” Bauer said.

“Two: no social media posts about me while we’re together, because private life stays private.

“Three: I sleep with other people. I’m going to continue to sleep with other people. If you’re not O.K. with that, we won’t sleep together, and that’s perfectly fine.

“We can just be perfectly polite platonic friends,” he added.

Who is Jon Fetterolf?

Jon Fetterolf is a partner at litigation firm Zuckerman Spaeder, which has offices in Baltimore, New York, Tampa and Washington, DC.

He is Mr Bauer’s co-agent, not his attorney.

According to Deadspin, he’s a former basketball and baseball player at Haverford College.

He and Luba negotiated Bauer’s three-year, $102 million deal with the Los Angeles Dodgers – announced in February 2021.

It made “him one of the highest-paid players per year, says CNBC.

“This is what this player wanted.

“We ended up doing a three-year deal where he is going to make a lot more in the first few years than we’ve historically seen,” Fetterolf said.

His bio adds that Fetterolf “litigates tough cases, defending clients in criminal matters and fighting for their best interests in complex commercial litigation and investigations.

“As a certified agent with the Major League Baseball Players Association, Jon also maintains a thriving sports law practice, representing athletes and sports agencies in contract negotiations, salary arbitrations, and litigation.”
